Hi to all!I think those are real and good prices for Barolo's.A short time ago I bought 2003 A.Gaja Barolo Dagromis for 280 NIS [~52 Euros].It isn't one of the best and not a great vintage, so in Israel it is more pricey.Isn't it?PS I will apreciate if anyone sends Dagromis TN

I'd go for the the same wine as Birger, a very good vintage and a producer who I quite like (and from experience to date), and who tends to always put out a good wine, if not always with aspirations to greatness. In what can be a field notorious for disappointment (as well as great pleasure), reliability is not a bad trait in my opinion.

Prunotto, Barolo, Bussia, 1998: Elegance and complexity packed into a full bodied, well balanced wine. Look for increasing complexity as the wine develops in the glass, at first revealing plums and wild berries, later opening to show red currants, herbs and hints of anise. Best 2004 – 2014. Score 92.(Tasted 15 Apr 2002)

Corino, Barolo, 1999: A nice wine but one that stands in the shadow of the far, far more intriguing single vineyard wines (Vigneto Rocche, Vigneto Roncaglie, Vigneto Arborina, Viana Giachini). But to everything there is an "upside", for whereas those wines will not attain their peak until 2010 or later, this one is approachable and enjoyable now. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins and spicy wood integrating nicely and showing appealing red and black berries, red plums and spicy overtones, all lingering nicely on the palate. Drink now-2014. Score 88. (Tasted twice with consistent notes 8 Feb 2004)

Pio Cesare, Barolo, 2003: Dark garnet towards royal purple, full-bodied with firm tannins and generous oak, those in fine balance with fruits and acidity. On the nose and palate an array of blackberry, black cherry and plum fruits, those set off nicely by the oak and generous hints of earthy-minerals. Long and generous. Best from 2010. Score 92.
